Event Details

Extraxx is the only Expo and Conference dedicated to the production, processing, and science of marijuana extraction – how to make extracts and concentrates, the different production and extraction methods, post-extraction processing, including tips, traps, and lessons about cannabis extraction methods and technology.

Extraction is the journey of a plant into an essential oil and end product, and extracts are the FUTURE of marijuana! Join us at the event to find out about opportunities in this EXPLOSIVE market segment!
Oils, concentrates, food production, and manufacturing represent the fastest-growing and continually-evolving segments of the marijuana industry.

Plant extraction has created entirely new methods to consume and ingest cannabis, such as vaping oils, dabbing, or via cannabis tinctures, marijuana edibles, cannabis-infused products, transdermal patches, and topical (oils and cream) applications. There are so many different marijuana and CBD products available today, that all start with this same process: EXTRACTION!

FAQsAre there ID or minimum age requirements or restrictions at the event?
The Expo is a non-consumption, business-to-business, Conference dedicated to the processes and production of extraction (for making oils, food products, concentrates, and topicals). There is no display, sale, trade, or usage of marijuana or cannabis products permitted at the event. It’s not a fesival, folks, but 2-days of serious learning for anyone involved, or looking to get involved, in extractions. There is no age restriction, but again no usage of any kind will be permitted onsite.

What are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event?
Adjacent lots offer day parking at $20.

What can I bring into the event?
Yourself, minus any “product”. Also, any solicitations (flyers, handouts, business cards) must be organized through the conference. Contact us for information on this, we’ll help you get your message in the Expo bag. Via phone at 323-775-3322.
